In September 2001, classes were taught at the Skyline Lakes fire house by Kristie Roca and Jaime Ricciardi. Students poured into the fire house doors anxious to start taking class from young, innovative and energetic teachers. After a tremendously successful year and recital, TPDA was able to relocate to its new home in Wanaque, New Jersey in September 2002.
In June 2008, Turning Point finally grew out of it's Wanaque space and has relocated to the brand new Haskell Towne Center just down the road.
Elizabeth Laakman has now joined the staff as a Hip-Hop instructor. As well as Kim Araki who is Turning Point's new ballet instructor.
Turning Point Dance Academy was founded on several main ideas. Our first and foremost goal is to present our program in a safe, happy and healthy environment. We teach because we want to share the love for dance with our students, we perform for the love of performance and we respect all those that make dance possible.
"To touch, to move, to inspire. This is the true gift of dance." Aubrey Lynch
